1 large lemon, peeled and white pith removed
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 lb extra firm tofu, cut into 1/4 inch-thick slices
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup dry white wine
4 ounces white button mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons capers, drained
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons soy margarine (optional)

1
Preheat the oven to 275F.
2
Cut the lemon into very thin rounds, discarding the seeds, and set aside.
3
Drain tofu, wrap in paper towel, and press for about ten minutes (this will give your tofu a firmer texture).
4
Put the flour into a shallow bowl.
5
Season the tofu with salt and pepper and dredge in the flour, tapping off any excess.
6
Transfer the tofu slices to a platter and set aside.
7
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
8
Add the tofu, in batches, and cook, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes total.
9
Place the tofu slices on a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven.
10
Deglaze the skillet with the wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
11
Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring a few times, until slightly softened, about 2 minutes.
12
Stir in the lemon slices, capers, and parsley and simmer until hot.
13
Stir in the butter, if using, to enrich the sauce.
14
Arrange the tofu on a serving platter or individual plates.
15
Pour the sauce over the tofu and serve at once.
